  What is of importance in this article and should be paid attention, is to carefully organize the elements of this religious set from sociology or anthropology to be examined in the field of religion and its adaptation to the components of a religion. The choice and importance of this issue (totem) as a religion will be based on the analysis of the Cartesian principles that the First Circle plays a decisive role in the chain of scientific facts, and Totem will be the first in the formation of a religion and a gradual evolution of other religions. Investigating the foundations of totem that form the basis of this religion: Totem, Mana, and Taboo, which is the symbol of a supreme natural and man-made force, and the taboo, as the prohibition and prohibition of religion. The effects of totem on other religions and traditions, including Zoroastrianism, India, Greece, and Shinto, Japan, etc. are evident. And the term totem was widely adopted by Durkheim in the religious systems.

  Plants in ancient fictional texts describe the  relation between low world and super worlds and appear in forms including ritual resurrection, human reincarnation in plant and vice versa, identification of human and plant , and etc which  relate human's spirit to supernatural. Contemporary Persian poets are taking advantage of a new language that is full of mythical concepts for expression of their defiant thoughts. According to political and social condition dominating  Iran and introduction of new subjects  into contemporary Persian poetry, using symbol and code in poetry changes into a necessity and meantime plant symbols have significant contribution. Akhavan,  Shamloo , and Shafi'aee Kadkani, three mythopoets in Persian Literature of contemporary era, have utilized symbolic and mythical expressions of plant as totemism, animism (personification), human reincarnation in plant and fetishism in their poems. These poets have been influenced more by Iranian-Islamic narrations rather than Jewish- Christian and Greek- Roman  ones in using herbal symbols.   Manuscript profile

  Totemism, belief to sacredness of an animal or plant, is one of the beliefs of primitive peoples that can also be found among Iranians. Shahnameh, as one of the old and valid Iranian resources, can give much information about culture, religion, rites and beliefs of Iranians and other ethnic groups. For gaining access to this information, we need to search the book very profoundly. In the present article, we study the name of Arash, a famous Iranian archer, from etymological point of view, and suggest that Arash means “bear”. After examining the race of people who have the name of Arash, we think that this name is originally a Parthian word, and there is a connection between it and the second part of the name of Siyavash, both ending with sound of "-ash". Also, based on nominal theories, bear can be a Parthian totem, for in Bundahishn bear is introduced as one of twenty five types of human species.   Manuscript profile

  In shahnameh numerous folktales can be found with profound mythical bases.  Zahhak’s story is then an outstanding example of a mythical fiction.  Zahhak with his dark and vicious soul is a monster in Persian mythology.  In this article an effort has been made to examine the story and its characters from the psychological perspective based on the theories of Freud and Jung.  Emphasis has been put on such terms as Totem, and Taboo, Key words in Freud’s theory.  Since both the psychological and the mythological criticisms are closely related, in applying the Oedipus complex, rooted in the collective unconscious, and one of the main theories of Jung, the author aims to penetrate into the dark recesses of Zahhak’s character in order to explain his actions, reactions, tensions, and his psychological conflicts to reveal his true identity and dark soul.
